Want to be a catalyst?

Strangers or not, all christians are brothers and sisters. And as family, we’re called by our Father to help each other.

"Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God." 3 John 1:5-8

Has there been a time when a perfect stranger helped you out of a situation? A time when you thought to yourself, “Wow, if they hadn’t done that for me, I don’t know what I would have done.”

Now take that memory and think back to all the people you told that story to. Whether you knew it or not, by sharing, you were spreading the message of God. Someone heard your cry, you were given grace and your prayers were answered.

You can never tell when going the extra mile will allow you to extend your faith and touch someone’s life in a way you could have never imagined. Find a creative way to fill the need of someone you don’t know.

What would happen if we went beyond the traditional and did something extraordinary?
